Because it's fun. When it stops being fun, I stop doing it. Same with Taxme and his new Holocaust denial shtick.
I guess most of us do this for fun. Except for waldo, for whom it is a duty.
Trying to break through what's-her-name's magic bubble stopped being fun for me a long time ago. Taxme is disgusting and ought to have been put down a long time ago.
It's not just a matter of recreation, though. For me, talking with you fine folks is an opportunity for me to hear other ideas and examine my own. I think that trying to explain something to someone else is one of the best ways of understanding it yourself. I really do think that I have learned a lot from my time on these message boards. And expressing myself in writing has been a big part of building confidence in myself as well.
I really can't understand people who come on these boards to be pissed off. Couldn't they just drop a bowling ball on their foot or something?
Well, venting sometimes feels good as well.
